Critic Reviews

Really practical . . . guidance on the habits you fall into that aren’t helping you achieve the success you deserve. It’s fascinating. (Lorraine Candy)
Sally Helgesen, the world’s premier expert on women’s leadership, wants women to get out of their own way . . . How Women Rise, co-authored with leadership expert Marshall Goldsmith, examines the behaviours most likely to get in the way of women rising in their careers.
How Women Rise is a great read for any woman who wants to identify self-defeating behaviors that are holding her back, gain insight into why she engages in those behaviors, and develop skills to confidently achieve her goals. (Lois P. Frankel, author of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office)
Sally and Marshall give new meaning to the term ‘dream team’. Together they have produced a masterpiece, an over-the-moon but magnificently down-to-earth leadership book for the ages. (Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence)
Dr Marshall Goldsmith is considered as one of the best leadership thinkers and executive coaches in the world.
Abounds with positive energy . . . A concise, upbeat guide for women who have grown bored or impatient with their positions as well as for those new to the professional world and its leadership roles.
A smart and well-researched handbook for women trying to make the next step in their careers.
If you could have dinner with any living person, who would it be? My answer has long been the same: Marshall Goldsmith. He’s a celebrated author. He’s considered one of the world’s leading executive coaches. And he’s very much inspired my own coaching career.
A counterintuitive collection of the 12 most common habits holding back women at work . . . I recommend reading the whole book.
A great resource to discover the 12 habits that hold women back and how to overcome them . . . Goldsmith is a bestselling author [and] pre-eminent executive coach . . . Helgesen is a leading authority in women’s leadership.

The best book in leadership that I’ve read. Most books are focussed on men and I have never felt that I could relate to any. This book has highlighted the habits that I use that aren’t serving me in my career. It also explains why so many males in my field have what seem to be meteoric rises through the ranks while suitably qualified women seem to stagnant. I 100% recommend this book to all women at any stage of the career ladder. I think that those who manage women or would like to be allies for them in the workplace should read this to gain a better understanding and new perspective of behaviours that women engage in, in the workplace.

A must read for all women and those who manage them

Really struggled with the narration. Just the accent, generally avoid US audiobooks but wanted to try this. The idea is good but the premise seems to be that women need to change in order to fit in the world or work, a premise with which I wholeheartedly disagree. But I hope some people find it useful.

I don’t grant your premise...
